Peterborough Police Auction

In order to better serve the community, the Peterborough Police Service’s auction is now being offered online.

“A live auction is weather dependent, necessitates that people attend in person and requires a sufficient number of items to attract many potential buyers in order to have competitive bidding prices,” says Inspector Lynne Buehler, Support Services Division.

“In an online auction, bidders can be anywhere and can place their bid at any time. An online auction is less labour intensive for our property and evidence staff, will make it easier for people to purchase items and will generate more revenue for the Peterborough Police Services Board auction fund.”

The online auction is being run by Police Auctions Canada. On this site, bidders will find items from more than 19 different Police Services across Canada and four Universities. The items are not organized by Service but by item.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a civilian, non profit, charitable organization that brings together the community, the police and the media in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest.
